I really want to make paintings that put some magic on the wall.
- David Spiller

Drawing his inspiration from the outputs of Pop Art and the iconography of Disney, David Spiller was a painter, renowned for his unique colourful works that often incorporate familiar cartoon figures with punchy catchphrases and song lyrics such as his Still Crazy After All These Years piece, a Daffy Duck painting with the title words emblazoned on the canvas in a collage style. The surfaces of many of Spiller’s work feature rudimentary scrawls and scribbles as inspired by the primal, almost child-like painterly techniques of theArt Brut movement and such associated artists as Jean Debuffet; rich in colour, quirky and fun, Spiller’s works are celebrated for their accessibility for children and adults alike.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
